Saturday August 16th confirmed for the 6th edition with the after party at the Velo Cafe.
Course to be decided with safety, challenge, fun and being cool with all other park users as our priorities. More course details to follow in due course. Of course.
Nice mug colour this year and maybe a third marquee. I think that CX bikes are ok; not sure what wouldn’t be ok tbh.

Not much more to add at the moment – great to read your interest and enthusiasm.

I’ll second that, keep up the good work and let us know if you need any volunteers leading up to the day; despite some moaning about the course changes it’s still my favourite MTB event, great vibe and always friendly with a competitive edge. Bring on the sunshine and flowing singletrack in August I hope 8)

Singletrackmind i’ve not seen a CX bike at BigDog before but plenty of variety including fat bikes, retro classics, and even a postie bike so i’m sure you’ll be made welcome. I suspect some sections of the course will be “entertaining” for you with the drop bars 😉

As Paceman knows I’m an (armchair) fan of CX and in the right hands I think you could do it. I suspect you would get one hell of a beating though. I guess there must be a reason no one else has done it – yet.

worry not, as a regular Stanmer rider there is no way I would enter on a cx bike . The course is too technical really and my back would not take the battering. I will be on my Hei-Hei most likely as its 100/75 travel make it perfect for traction and root compliance

“Real soon now” – think they’re clearing customs in Taiwan at the moment. I knew it was going to be a bit of a wait so I’ve been gathering the other bits and pieces together. Drilling holes in the rims was a bit of a fraught hour or two!
